“In modern football it's rare that you have, certainly a player like Lewandowski, in a position where he forces through a move.

“They're trying to bring a deal to the table but ultimately it's down to Bayern.

Is Robert Lewandowski likely to move to the Premier League this summer?

“I’m not even sure it's Lewandowski himself initiating this but if you have a nice packet on the table, a big club like United or Chelsea, maybe he will think about it, but ultimately you have to agree a fee with Bayern, and they can be quite stubborn.”

Lewandowski was in sensational form last season, netting 43 goals in all competitions.

United and Chelsea are both looking for new strikers following injury to Zlatan Ibrahimovic and a falling out between Antonio Conte and Diego Costa.
